Re: [A/S] tow info request



If the total gross  is 10,800 we need to know the weight of the truck, you, 
your wife, your kids, the dog.

The trailer weighs 7300 pounds (more than your truck is rated to tow)....... 
"wet"....... so from there we need to know about the truck, the family and 
the dog's weight....... if all of it is under 3,500 pounds you are ok.

I doubt it is..... the truck weighs more than that doesn't it?

Can you tow it safely? You can until you get into a hincky situation.  Will 
you be happy with the way it tows. Most likely No.

I have the same trailer and was towing it with a Suburban..... I wasn't 
happy.... 

Hunter, who thinks you'll want a bigger truck
